Professional Skills Seminars Launch in Hokkaido
In May, as part of our Career Navigation Program, the 2019 Portable Skills Seminar series kicked off in Sapporo.
This innovative series of interactive workshops is available exclusively to Interac teachers. As part of our commitment to professional development, we launched this series last year across Japan in Tokyo,
Fukuoka, and Kyoto, with overwhelmingly positive feedback from the participants.
Hereâs what some of them had to sayâŠ
- âThe role plays, especiallyâŠwere really useful!â
- âEvery portion of the seminar felt like there was a strong purposeâŠâ
- âThe trainers were excellent in the role play and gave a lot of guidance after.â
In response to increased interest, our Portable Skills Seminars are set to continue with expanded locations and topics in Fukuoka, Tokyo and Kyoto. In addition to effective communication, we will cover a variety of topics including Effective Feedback & Listening, Microsoft Excel Efficiency and Working in a Multicultural Environment.
